   A little design feedback: With my 15.4 inch screen I could only see the first service, so I initially assumed that you were for some reason having ads for amazon cloud drive, and I also noticed an empty site forum (which I now believe is th

   No, really - I'm certain there aren't any in my code. SQL injections are extremely easy to protect against if you know how it works. There might however be other vulnerabilities.

   I don't think SQL is a bad API - it's just that every language makes it so difficult to use prepared statements! It shouldn't be harder than: sql_query('SELECT * FROM mytable WHERE name = ?', name) (I'm aware that this defeats the

   I do it more or less the same way, except I try to separate the layout from its content (I'll put #header, #content, #sidebar, #footer together, and later on define stuff that is specific to the content of e.g. #header). Also, when having q

   Read this sentence again: A simple browser plugin that implements TOFU/POP on top of PKI would be an excellent start. That would - at least to start with - be additional security.

   Direct link to the library: http://www.jstat.org/ . Looks quite cool.

   The link doesn't work when using French language as default (redirects to http://www.gizmodo.fr/ ). It is possible to access it after manually removing the hashbang, though, but I don't like hashbang URLs. The video is also viewable at ht

    It works fine on Firefox 4.0b12 on Linux too. :-) That version works much better than the one I tried on github! It's also much cooler.

    Though I really don't want to create a fake Facebook profile. I don't want to resort to being dishonest with Facebook, and I still don't want all my comments to go through Facebook. Also, it's not easy to be logged in to Facebook with mul

    Well... I don't see how ignoring IE would change that much for those visitors, if the pushState is used only as progressive enhancement. I probably wouldn't even display a message to them. On the other hand, if dynamic changes are essential

    14 million dollars is not very much, as it's one of the largest websites around. Most large websites are backed by companies that make a lot of money and can easily have a huge staff improving the technology; this is not really the case w

    For me it's quite uncommen that legitimate emails go to the spam folder - one every few months, so I usually just check it every couple weeks or so. It's much more common that spam comes to my inbox, forcing me to mark it as spam. Of course
